Unfathomable Love Poem by Dr. Lalita Smith

</> Had I lived a spotless life Lord,
I believe I would not know the unfathomable love, mercy, and
grace I am privileged to dwell in now. Neither would I appreciate
the pure white linen robe You have draped over my scarlet iniquities.

Had I lived a pure life Lord,
I believe I would not comprehend the limitless extension of Your
amazing grace. Neither would my face radiate the splendor of Your
holiness.

Had I lived a praise-less life Lord,
I believe I would not enjoy the ecstatic pleasure I have when I
raise my hands, lift my voice in song, and dance exuberantly before
Your throne! How callous the majesty of your omnipotence would seem,
had I lived a life without worship unto You.
